PS3 Battlefield 3 Missing Battlefield 1943

If you were paying close attention to Jack Tretton (head of SCEA) when he took the stage at E3 this year, you may remember him talking about some pretty cool PlayStation 3 exclusives. One such exclusive, according to Jack, was the inclusion of DICE’s classic shooter, Battlefield 1943 on every Blu-Ray copy of Battlefield 3.

Essentially, PS3 owners were told that when they bought Battlefield 3, they’d be getting an entire second game for free. It makes sense for the title to be a PS3 exclusive; Battlefield 3 barely fits on two Xbox 360 discs and there probably isn’t much room to cram an entire other game in there. However, astute players that picked up BF3 yesterday noticed that Battlefield 1943 doesn’t seem to be on their disc, and took to Twitter and support forums to figure out exactly what happened.


If you’re one of the many PS3 owners trying to sort out where your Battlefield 1943 went, you can stop looking – it’s not on the disc. DICE worked out a different deal with Sony, trading the inclusion of the game for early DLC access for PS3 owners.


Here’s an official tweet from DICE that sums it up:


“In lieu of 1943 being available on disk for PS3 customers, EA has made all BF3 expansions available early to PS3 customers.”


I’m not really sure if this is an equitable bonus – as an Xbox 360 owner I didn’t really feel like I got much value in being allowed to give Activision more money for CoD expansions before PS3 owners had the same opportunity. If I did own a PS3, and was excited to see 1943 on my disc, I doubt that getting BF3 DLC one week early would really make up for the loss. 


What about you, PS3 owners? Should Sony live up to its original announcement or does this whole thing fall in the “do not care” category? Also, sorry if you’re experiencing Battlefield overkill; the rush is almost over! If you’re not, I’ll see you playing online!

lol, I wasn't buying this game but if I did, I'd be pretty angry. How in the world is that even a fair trade....what a bait and switch. The idea that early DLC access is a bonus is ridiculous anyway. It only appeals to early adopters and most gamers probably don't even notice. I really don't like the direction DLC is taking the gaming world....

it is a shame they haven't kept their promise.... but anyways 1943 is a multiplayer game and ppl will be playing bf3 multiplayer so it was a bit of useless add on in the first place however since they decided to promise it they should have put it in there. Shame on EA

I think most people will agree that the idea of a free game trumps the opportunity to spend more money. Even if it is early.

The question here is:
Who backed out of the original agreement and for what reasons?

That is something I would like to know, was it DICE doing the backpeddling, or did Sony ask for this switcharoo.

When EA is involved, nothing surprises me. I seldom buy EA games new and this is the reason why.

Exactly. Besides, anybody who really wants it would have it by now.

I don't have a PS3 so it's not really impacting me, but it seems pretty lame from a customer perspective.

I bet this deal was made around the same time that EA changed their user agreement to try and prevent people from filing class action suits.....

Having the game missing isn't such a big deal but the fact no one was told really is just taking the piss, i mean yeah EA removed it but Sony's the one benefiting from these exclusive deals because it helps them offload more consoles, so this is just another example of Sony not thinking they need to explain anything to us.

someone on stage at e3 making promises, isn't solid proof something is coming/happening. it's not like it was advertised you get the game and then it wasn't there. you instead get a free expansion a week before 360/pc (which was advertised). personally, i would prefer a free expansion of closer to 20$ than a 10$ game i already own.

Oh, wait, whats that?
Promising something will be in a product when it's not, and then not informing consumers that it's been removed...?
Hmmm, there's a word for this....
Oh, right, false advertising, last time I checked, that was illegal, right?
